Thanks to Pranav Awasthi for sending these images in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing them with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP page!

A test mule of the fifth generation Honda City has been spotted featuring full LED headlights. The spy images show the car's side profile.

The test car appears to have a clamshell bonnet and is riding on multi-spoke alloy wheels. It has blacked-out B-pillars and a coupe-like roofline with a shark fin antenna on top. In the second image, you can see Honda officials covering the test car.

The new City is likely to get a 1.5-litre, naturally aspirated petrol engine instead of the 1.0-litre turbocharged unit that is being offered in Thailand. It has also been reported that the 1.5-litre engine could be re-tuned for better low-end torque, power and fuel economy. Transmission options are likely to include a 6-speed manual and a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
